TOKYO (PRWEB) February 03, 2020
TOBISHIMA CORPORATION (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Masahiro Norikyo; Tobishima Corporation) will develop a new construction management framework by utilizing business process outsourcing (BPO) services by transcosmos inc.
The Revised Labor Standards Act is scheduled to take effect in the construction industry in 2024 at a time when the industry is facing a pressing challenge to address long working hours caused by an ever mounting workload due to the vibrant market condition coupled with a shortage of construction workers. Tobishima Corporation has been driving digitalization with the use of information technology (IT) tools to streamline construction work processes, thereby reducing the workload. However, the company only saw a limited result from such initiatives owning to several challenges. Specifically, the ways in which each site uses the tools are not consistent and there have been some discrepancies between the new and traditional work processes.
To achieve the goals to implement a construction management system that reflects the actual construction plans and the work progress at sites and to centralize all construction management information, Tobishima Corporation will develop optimal workflow and a stable operations framework that integrates digital technologies and manual operations by utilizing “to Construction BPO services” by transcosmos in each management item, namely, “Quality,” “Cost,” “Delivery,” “Safety” and “Environment” (QCDSE).
As a first step, Tobishima Corporation will create an environment where each construction site can concentrate on their core work such as construction planning and on-site check by separating associated data management tasks from the core work. The company will deliver timely data processing following the plan and actual work progress at each site by consolidating all data management tasks that have been conducted at each site to transcosmos BPO center through the use of a cloud service. By doing so, Tobishima Corporation will leverage each site’s construction management data as company-wide common data. In addition, Tobishima Corporation will centralize all information by standardizing report formats, tools and processing methods that currently differ from site to site, thereby increasing efficiency.
With the aim of increasing productivity by 10% at construction sites by 2023 by increasing efficiency, Tobishima Corporation will further streamline its business processes, and ultimately drive workstyle reform in the construction industry.
